Song(s): Washing Dishes & Radiate
Artist: Jack Johnson, From Here To Now To You

I almost made it through ALL of the Jack Johnson albums before release day! Tomorrow Meet the Moonlight is officially out and I can't wait to hear the new songs (it's been 5 years since there's been new tunes so I'm ready!). Be sure to come back tomorrow for the listening party!! 🎉

Washing Dishes

One of my favorite tracks from this album! It's so cute, catchy and fun!! I never realized that the reference to "washing dishes" kinda references being the under-dog and working your way up. Whether in your work/career or a relationship. I love that!! And yes, I have listened to this song while washing dishes. It's the perfect song for that never-ending chore 😁


In the morning when the world came awake
Before you knew me I knew your name
It was painted across the day as it breaks
An impression in your window frame

When you saw me out your window
Singing from the garden
Only the beginning
I'm only getting started
I don't mind the digging
Baby, I'll work harder
I've been washing dishes
Singing from the bottom

But one day I'll be running this place
And one day I could take you away
But I want you to wonder what's my name
'Cause I need you to want me the same

'Cause when you saw me washing dishes
Singing from the bottom
Only the beginning
I'm only getting started
I don't mind the digging
Baby, I'll work harder
I've been in the ashes
Singing from the garden

Where everything reaches for the sun
Still unsure of what we'll become
But I need you to reach out to me
See in me more than I could see
'Cause I'm afraid that

One day is only two words we say
I don't want to let them get in the way
All these plans that we should be making right now
Right now

Whose who took the time and where did they take it
Want to take it back
I don't want to let them to break it
All these plans that we should be making right now
Right now

You see one day I'll be running this place
And one day I could take you away
But I want you to wonder what's my name
'Cause I need you to want me the same

'Cause when you saw me out your window
Singing from the garden
Only the beginning
I'm only getting started
I don't mind the digging
Baby, I'll work harder
I've been washing dishes
Singing from the bottom

But one day is only two words we say
I don't want to let them get in the way
All these plans that we should be making right now
Right now

Who took the time and where did they take it
Want to take it back
I don't want to let them to break it
All these plans that we should be making right now


Radiate

This song makes me think of creating! It makes me want to paint and craft, specifically with a bunch of enthusiastic kids! It's such a fun, happy, positive song with a wonderful message. 🌞

OK, I SWEAR ✋ I have never seen this before! Wow, I hit the nail on the head (interpretation wise) with this one! 😂 This is the cutest music video EVER! Man, I love kids! 💙 Their imaginations are unparalleled. And Jack's inspiration for the song...man I am so in tune with him! 😏

You walk into the world you make
You lose yourself but you find your way
I'm gonna watch you
Radiate
Radiate
Radiate
Radiate
Radiate

We turn so slow I know it's hard to wait
Take your time, sun is yours to take
I'm gonna watch you
Radiate
Radiate
Radiate
Radiate
Radiate

These rocks they hold heat
Pools of water cool your feet
As you walk you believe
Every part of the dream

I see you lost in what you create
All of time in this one single day
You take it in and you
Radiate
Radiate
Radiate
Radiate
Radiate

Follow your hands as they build
As they shape, as they follow your mind
And rose like a wave
Take it and you radiate
Radiate, gonna watch you radiate, radiate

These rocks they hold heat
Pools of water cool your feet
As you walk you believe
Every part of the dream

Morticia and Gomez Addams Love Song: "Rot Next to You"

Song: Morticia and Gomez Addams Love Song: "Rot Next to You" Artist: The Hound + The Fox Wow this is so good! 🥀 So, funny enough, I just watched the 1990's Addams Family film for the first time eva a couple days ago and then  this video pops up on my youtube feed (if this isn't proof that the government is stalking us through technology IDK what is! 😱). Anyway, even though I didn't care for the movie all that much, I thought this song captured Morticia and Gomez perfectly! And it's actually a really, beautiful love song for Halloween time! I especially like the bridge (and I'm pretty sure it's a direct quote from the movie because when I heard them singing it I was like "That sounds familiar...." 🤔). We all need somebody to rot next to at the end.... 😂 Sorry about the dark humor 😈🖤🥀 I see you like  A night with a full moon  I feel you like a flame  You cast a spell on me  I like how you make me weak  I play you like a game  I hope w

Siren Call

Song: Siren Call Artist: Hanson This song is off of Hanson's Fan Club EP: Loud (2016). I have been slightly obsessed with this haunting song as of late. This song is about dealing with depression ( Zac Hanson even said so ! Be forewarned, explicit language is used in this video. I'm so sorry). Once I heard Zac explain the meaning and message behind this song it made so much sense to me! I have always loved it and I've always known it had a powerful message but I could never quite figure out what it was. This song is about struggling. Being weighed-down by the burdens and challenges life brings to each and every one of us. When we stop and allow ourselves to "give in" to the pain and sadness that comes with the stress of life, that's when we begin to slip and fall into a deep depression. That's when our "Siren's Call" us. And pull us down. No straighter path than to struggle .... This is perfect. And it's true. Life is a constan

Sally's Song and Corpse Bride Medley

Song: Sally's Song and Corpse Bride Medley Artist: From Youtube I found this really creepy, cool medley/cover on youtube. I really like it! Major  Halloween  vibes from two  Halloween  inspired movies. The  Corpse Bride  lyrics were written by the person who posted/sang this song. She does a great job! Thanks for sharing  Trickywi ! I sense there's something in the wind That feels like tragedy's at hand And though I'd like to stand by him Can't shake this feeling that I have The worst is just around the bend And does he notice my feelings for him? And will he see how much he means to me? I think it's not to be Under a tree at quarter three, I had some hope in me But life was taken from me, but I did not feel peace I made a vow within my gown that love will come to me But there he is and suddenly I had been found I adore him What will become of my dear friend Where will his actions lead us then? Although I'd like to join the crowd In their enth
